Celtic midfield problems

645
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

Neil Lennon accepted responsibility for the tactical decision to start yesterday’s game with three at the back, saying, “We thought the three would suit us, but that didn’t seem to be the case. We looked a little bit flat the first 10-15 minutes and I don’t know why.”

Hibernian scored during this period, which may or may not have been a result of the defensive line-up, but if anything, Celtic were even flatter after they went to four at the back.  The game was a throwback to the days when Gordon Strachan’s teams worked hard but seldom inspired.

The midfield didn’t dominate enough of the ball to prevent Hibs creating several good chances and was unable to craft a clear-enough opening.  With Charlie Mulgrew on the field we are always dangerous, and Kris Commons has a better sense of where the goal is than anyone at the club, but without them we grasp to Paddy McCourt, who only seems to get the call when we’re in trouble.

So where do we need to strengthen next month……………?

    I saw a post that someone posted earlier about Iceberg lettuces, say they they had gone up by 30%, bear with me…….

     

     

    Just up the road from me they grow millions of them, I know one of the farmers who grows them.

     

     

    Anyways, after he pays for water, food, wages, transport, he makes the grand sum of 1 cent per lettuce.

    Just watched the credits on MOTD2 on BBC2 showing a picture of those players who may move in the Jan transfer window. Demda Ba and all but also strangely included our Victor, think something is in the offing.

    Any chance wee pat will have heard the singing at hampden yesterday……he remarked he would always highlight it regardless of who it was……..go on son lets see what your made off…..hey wait better check wi rab first to see if its ok

  40. 'crushed nuts?' 'Naw, Layringitis!' on

    today’s papers -free read at morrisons- all about how we’re signing a left back and Sevco are so proud of their win against ten men in the third division, one manager says he got it wrong, the other watches mugs’ money pour into his account…who gets more scrutiny from MSM?

     

    In other news..they’re going down faster than a spanner off an oil rig, hence the desperate attempts via Jabba -just trying to give something back- and his chinas in the MSM trying to punt Wallace.
